It depends on the scope of your project:

• Bathroom or Kitchen Remodel - You can typically remain in your home, though you'll have limited access to the space being renovated
• Whole Home Remodel - For extensive renovations affecting multiple rooms or systems, we generally recommend temporary relocation

We'll discuss living arrangements during your initial consultation and help you plan accordingly.

While we conduct thorough pre-construction inspections, unforeseen issues can sometimes arise during remodeling (especially in older homes). When this happens:

• We immediately communicate the issue to you
• Our team evaluates the best solutions
• We present options with transparent pricing for any additional work
• No additional work proceeds without your approval

To minimize surprises, we include a contingency allowance in our proposals for most major renovations.

Absolutely! Our design team provides comprehensive assistance with all selections, including:

• Cabinetry and countertops
• Flooring and tile
• Lighting fixtures

We'll guide you through the selection process to ensure all elements work together harmoniously while respecting your budget and timeline.

Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Here are typical timeframes for our most common projects:

• Bathroom Remodel: 3-6 weeks
• Kitchen Remodel: 6-12 weeks
• Home Addition: 12-16 weeks
• Whole Home Remodel: 3-9 months

These timeframes include all phases from design through construction. We'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project during the planning phase.

For best results, we recommend starting the planning process at least:

• 2-3 months before your desired start date for smaller projects
• 4-6 months before your desired start date for major renovations

This allows adequate time for design development, material selection, permitting, and scheduling. Certain times of year (particularly spring and summer) book up quickly, so planning ahead is always beneficial.

We pride ourselves on maintaining project schedules and have an excellent track record of on-time completion. Our detailed planning process and dedicated project management help ensure smooth progress. However, several factors can influence timelines:

• Material availability and lead times
• Weather conditions (for exterior work)
• Change orders and scope adjustments
• Permitting and inspection scheduling
• Unforeseen conditions discovered during construction

We maintain transparent communication throughout your project and will immediately notify you of any circumstances that might affect the schedule.
